Imbush Peach t-shirts, buttons, stickers
True to form, we're either behind or ahead of the times at the 52tease.com Outpost (we can't quite figure out which it is). Two days ago, the Vermont state senate voted 16-9 to impeach President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. There is little chance of the Vermont House of Representatives to take up the vote, possibly setting impeachment proceedings in motion thanks to rules written by former President Thomas Jefferson to govern the U.S. House. That doesn't take away from this amazing symbolic move on the part of a state legislature.
Equally symbolic (and ineffective) is Representative Dennis Kucinich's letter this past week that announces his intention to introduce Articles of Impeachment with respect to the conduct of Vice President Cheney. (As USA Today points out, sadly, Kucinich doesn't even register on the latest Gallup poll regarding Democratic Presidential hopefuls).
Although Kucinich is only grandstanding, this is one more indication of a nation looking to wake from a long, ugly political slumber.
Don't believe us? Just look at all the websites that exist with the word "impeach" in their urls:
http://www.impeachpac.org - Electing a Congress to Impeach Bush and Cheney
http://www.impeachbush.org
http://www.impeachbush.tv - Editorials and Information on How to Impeach Bush & Cheney
http://impeachforpeace.org - Nonpartisan efforts to Impeach Bush & Cheney
http://www.impeach07.org
http://www.impeach-andrewjohnson.com/- Okay, maybe that one doesn't have to do with the current administration
http://www.impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com - Now you know what ITMA means
http://impeachbushcoalition.blogspot.com - A United Coalition of Bloggers for the Impeachment of George W. Bush
http://www.thefourreasons.org/ - Although that one doesn't have "impeach" in the url, it is pretty scathing
People are waking up the atrocities of the current administration (which they have actively pursued since before September 11th, mind you) and calling for action.
Of course, while all this is going on, we've recently been tuned into the atrocities perpetuated by Peach, who is worth of imbushment (that's right, we're hoping on the nascent Imbush Peach movement). Although we haven't yet read through all the literature, we're pretty sure they aren't talking about Princess Peach. Other than being repeatedly kidnapped by Bowser and apparently in love with a plumber, she hasn't real done anything truly imbushable, right?
That...and we just think it's really funny.

"sadly, Kucinich doesn't even register on the latest Gallup poll regarding Democratic Presidential hopefuls."
Why "sadly," 52tease? You may agree with Kucinich's view that Bush should be impeached but how about his stand on other issues? His ability to be an effective leader for the U.S.? I feel like Kucinich is a bit outside the mainstream to take seriously.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, but that's the point we were trying to make. Kucinich is clearly too far"outside the mainstream to take seriously" for most Americans. That's why his calls for impeachment are nothing more than the canary in the mineshaft. We are sad that we aren't hearing more reasonable calls for action from those who better represent the views of the people.
I urge you and your readers to take a few minutes to look at:

It's a list of the 25 most recent comments made by real Americans participating in an online poll/letter-writing campaign concerning the impeachment charges recently filed against Vice President Cheney, which are now being evaluated by the House Judiciary Committee. Comments can be sent to elected representatives and local newspapers at your option. The participation page is at:

Since this campaign began, three members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors, in part due to hearing from their constituents. Make your voice heard, and let others know!
